Question X-Pipes Question

I want to install an X-pipe but want to know if in doing that will it affect the computer settings,and also what do people think is the best X-pipe to get (no off roads) and I know I dont want a poppin sounding one. I already have the FFRP Axle back stingers on and the Big Daddy CAI.

I doubt if it will affect the computer settings. IMO the best X-pipe would be the maganflow tru-x or bassani x pipe.

If you are looking for a raspier sound, then the X pipe will be the one. You will also gain about 4-5 HP with the X pipe. For me, I like the sound of the H pipe better, deeper throatier sound.

i had a pypes x welded in about a year and a half ago. it didnt affect my computer or throw any codes . it sounds about the same as the stock h to me but it made a noticeable difference in power.

Here is my car with Bassani X-pipe (with high flow cats) and FRPP Stingers.

I am selling this x-pipe very soon. Just today I put on Bassani LT headers and a different Bassani x-pipe. Longtube headers of any brand are going to require a different size x-pipe than what fits on to stock manifolds.

I have to tell you that sounded pretty sweet, I must be a sicko ( LOL ) because I kind of like the drone. Mine isnt bad just at those certain RPM's. I think I will definatly keep the Bassani,s as a possibility.....Thanks for the input and the Vid Clip.!
